        This kind of response following a tragedy - exploitive - as if people need more, more, more, emotion, like a drug, pump it up.

        It's heartbreaking. Manchester is my home town. I live four miles from the city centre. My sister-in-law & nieces were there. All safe now.

        Definitely sad, and my heart goes out to the people. However, 82 Chibok GIRLS were returned in Nigeria,last week. Very good news to report

        Allow them some privacy. Digging into the lives of victims, naming and exposing them doesn't help anyone.

        When I was caught up in a terrorist incident 4yrs ago, the behaviour of UK media made the trauma much worse. They don't seem to have changed

        And yet you refuse to disavow yourself from those who stand with terrorists. You have no shame.
